THE MOM EGG

Mother Tongue is here!

A
mother murmurs to her infant son. Mother’s words hold power to hurt or
heal. A new immigrant struggles to learn English; later generations, to
cling to remnants of language and culture. Mother Tongue speaks out.
Mother Tongue has been silenced—and freed. Mother Tongue names. Mother
Tongue tastes and plays.

A must-read for mothers and lovers of language, and a fabulous gift for every literate, creative Mom.
